Since when am I European?
I said nothing of whether I am for or against fist fighting in hockey. But you have to stupid to think that fist fighting, especially the kind that happens in hockey, is not a belligerent activity.
Not belligerent but a sport.
Sports can't be belligerent?
May I suggest that you look up the word you're trying to talk about? You obviously haven't got a clue.
